It seems mistaken to assert that Google's R&D enterprise is not "pushing the boundary of what's possible". Stopping with published papers and conference prominence, when you have the reach that MSFT does, seems to be missing an opportunity.
And given this, which culture is under more pressure to change, MSR's or Google's?
- pierrefar 16y agoI think you're confusing MSR with MS corporate. The corporate culture at MS seems to be very different from the MSR culture, and it's the corporate culture that people pick on. Comparing MSR with Google doesn't make sense because MSR is very independent from MS corporate, culture wise at least.
- eru 16y agoJust to give an example: MSR is developing a Haskell compiler, and they run Linux on some of their boxes.
- mturmon 16y agoNope, not confusing them. I'm well acquainted with MSR. Just saying that the focus on papers and conference presence/sponsorship has not translated into impact on products. Seems a pity.
